Thankful, Beyond Belief!

If you've known me by reading Life with Lynnie (LwL) for any length of time, or know me in real life, you'll know that I am a truly thankful person.

Today, has been a rather good day for me.

Most of my day has been spent rewriting and going over what I am going to say and sing, tomorrow. If you're in the area, and would like to join us, I'll be speaking for a church group at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, at Victoria & Park, here in Windsor, at 1:00 p.m. Feel free to check out Lynnie Ministries.

This morning, I was shocked when the mailman came to my door with a parcel.

At first, I thought it was a Christmas gift from Ireland. Or, possibly my vitamins arriving; but, I kind of wondered why they would be here earlier than scheduled.

To my surprise, it was a box from U.S.A. Texas, in fact.

As soon as I saw where it was from, I knew who sent it to me. My friend J and her husband A, have become real life friends, even though our friendship began through Facebook (FB).

When I saw where it was from, and what had been written on the box, my face took on a smile. This greater than just a grin, went from ear-to-ear!

On the box, was written the word Fragile. In addition, there was a message written. It said, "Please be kind to me. Sincerely, Box". :) Then, below my name and address something else was written, "Special Person". This had an arrow marked from this wording over to where it said, "be kind", with a change in direction pointing to my name.

My heart skipped a beat reading all that was so lovingly written.

Opening the box, I was shocked to find in it, two (2) gifts.

The first (1st) one was an ink and paper gift set. For sure, whenever I use this, I will be thinking of my Texan friends!

The second (2nd) one was in a gold-tone gift box. I opened it up and was shocked to see a collector's plate.

The glass plate is beautiful. In the centre there is Two (2) Turtle Doves, perched on a branch. The inscription on the outer portion reads, "On the second day of Christmas, my true love sent to me... Two Turtle Doves".
